I got a car!
It is white.
It is a Ford.
It is Taurusey.
It will fit children I am babysitting over the summer. It will also get me to and from work with seemingly no problems. It makes me feel like this...
Last night I ran to the store! I bought yogurt. It was exciting.
I am listening to the girliest music right now. I also painted my toenails hot pink last night. I believe I am reverting back to being about 16. Maybe it has something to do with living with my parents.
Happy Thursday! : )
I was diagnosed with a weird head thing called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (or Pseudotumor Cerebri). This is my blog about living with it.

Few and Far Between
My updates have been so few and far between because I have been doing so well! So few headaches.
Thursday night I didn't make it to the pharmacy in time and I was completely and totally out of acetazolamide. This meant that I missed my dose of acetazolamide at night and then the pharmacy doesn't open until 9 so I was going to miss it in the morning as well. : / not good. The last time I missed acetazolamide was when I was first diagnosed. There were allergy issues and so we had to wait to hear from the doctor to make sure everything was ok. I ended up in the hospital.
Things were even more complicated because I still don't have a car. So it wasn't like I could sneak out and pick up my prescription at the pharmacy by school. Plus my mom was out of town for the week. So she couldn't even help me out. It had the potential to be very very bad.
Then Prom Date stepped in.
"So do you need to me to get your prescription when the pharmacy opens tomorrow?" nod.
"Do you need me to bring it to school?" nod.
"Are you going to be ok until then?" shrug.
He has been wonderful this week. Not only carting me back and forth to school but also trying to help me find a car. Both he and TJizzle have gone a long way to helping me start rebuilding my confidence that has been kind of shattered.
Things tend to get messed up in your mind even if you are the one who walks away.
But now I have not one but two leads on cars and an interview for a summer job on Tuesday. I am pretty excited about it.
Happy Summer Saturday!

Reminders
Sometimes decisions really make sense.
Things totally happen that remind you of all of the reasons why you did something in the first place.
It is depressing and life affirming all at the same time.
I have had a sore neck today. Stupid sore neck. I don't like it.
Today I drew a chalk picture. It was Piggie. She is cute.

Pro Bowler
Last night I went bowling.
Totally got tapped to go pro.
Today all I feel like doing is eating. NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM. I think I am going to make my FAVORITE red potatoes tonight and I am not going to share.
Lasagna was a hit last night.
I had a really bad head day yesterday. This was my first one in a little while and I did not like it at all. I was out in the heat most of the day so that may have had something to do with it, but I was inside where it was cool and it hurt then too so it might just have been a bad day. I had just forgotten what that feels like.
I saw lots of wildlife yesterday. I saw a toad AND a cat. I tried to befriend both. It did not work.
The Stinker's birthday party is today!

TODAY I am making lasagna.
The sauce is made.
My hands smell like onions and garlic and whenever I touch my face I get hungry.
I totally spaced on my pill last night. Then I slept until like 10. So I kind of feel a little gross. But that's ok. It'll go away when the pill starts to kick in. Right?

Lasagna
I am making lasagna for the boys.
I owe them a lot.
Mainly my second chance.
I will be making lasagna on Saturday but everyone knows that you have to make the sauce ahead of time for optimum flavor awesomeness. So I will hopefully be doing that today.
Have I mentioned that adult decisions are hard?

Things with Wheels
I need a car.
Badly.
It needs to be cheap.
I felt kind of crappy yesterday. Knot in my neck and a slight headache.
I opened a bank account yesterday. I also took my name off of the car insurance policy. There are a million little things that you have to do. It is hard to keep them all straight. I am staying in tonight and getting organized and figuring everything out.
The paper will be delivered tomorrow. I will find a car and a place to live.
I am determined.
Poor Prom Date and Mom aren't going to have to cart me around anymore.

Confessions
I love Kesha.
Like a lot.
I'm sorry TJizzle, I know this was a secret that I shared just with you, but I had to confess it to the world.
Anyone who can manage to work the word mangina into a song deserves my love and respect.
I had a rough afternoon yesterday. Tingly face and I was stupid. These days are frustrating because I can't perform basic tasks. Things like writing on the board for the kids become an insurmountable task because I can't remember how to spell basic words.
Frustrating.
At least I had apple pie and a huge chunk of cheese for breakfast!

Wake Up
I keep getting this feeling that this is all a dream and I am going to wake up.
I wouldn't change a thing.
I have lost weight. Maybe 10 pounds? So I don't know if that has something to do with how great I feel lately. Apparently the bigger thing is a restriction in sodium and a reduction in fluid intake, which is interesting since I am on a diuretic. I don't know. All I know is that I feel so much better.
I got my hairs cut. Wanna see? I'm pretty.
Fun night last night. I hung out with a super old friend from high school. I think I'm going to name him the Vampire. I got completely smashed on two screwdrivers. I got home an hour later than expected and my mom had called the police. I am not even kidding.
I need to move out of here.
Move over TJizzle, I'm hopping in!

Change
A week ago today I moved out of my house.
I am not going to air my relationship dirty laundry here, but I am not going back.
Since leaving I have not had a headache.
I have people to thank. Prom Date, TJizzle, Mom, Step-Dad, Mrs. Rocketship, the Doosh. <3
Happy Mother's Day.
